All ......

The overwhelming bombardment of naval artillery blew up the few batteries and defenders in Nagasaki port, and it was not difficult for the Japanese in Nagasaki to see the Spanish battleships that were silent not far from the port!

When the Changzhou Domain fell into a fierce war, Wang Gang and Paprov were not idle, and the intervention of the Spaniards made them realize the signs that the situation was out of control, and the previous strategy of using the Japanese to slowly consume the Japanese had to speed up the process!

For the first time, the expeditionary fleet participated in the Japanese civil war, first raiding the port of Nagasaki, sending Spanish warships and merchant ships carrying arms and supplies into the sea, and then Paplov's men and horses and a small number of improvised Japanese soldiers landed in Nagasaki!

After most of the forces were used to support the Changzhou Domain, the port of Nagasaki was naturally powerless to resist the thousands of troops, and it soon fell!

Paprov did not wait for the powerful southwestern feudal clan to come to his senses, and with the cooperation of the expeditionary fleet, he captured various port towns belonging to the Satsuma domain along the coast!

And directly from the sea to the territory of the Satsuma Domain, straight to the capital of the Satsuma Domain!

Kagoshima was completely crushed by the naval fleet and sailors of the Han Empire!

Most of the ships of the Japanese navy were sent into the sea by the expeditionary fleet, and the coastal towns were completely sacked, and before the Battle of the Chosu Domain could be decided, the Satsuma Domain was the first to be defeated by Paprov......

The powerful feudal clan in the southwest never expected that the Han Empire, which had tens of thousands of troops in the Changzhou Domain, still had the spare strength to carry out a surprise attack on the Satsuma Domain!

The Satsuma Domain is the second most powerful feudal domain in the southwest after the Chosu Domain!

And so it was destroyed......

After the destruction of the Satsuma Domain, the Spanish ships were unjustifiably expelled from the waters of Japan by the expeditionary fleet of the Han Empire, and ironically, when the protest statement of the Kingdom of Spain was sent to Xinluoyang, the capital of the Han Empire in the Americas, the Japanese Civil War was completely over......

The Satsuma Domain was destroyed, and the firearm support of the Spanish Kingdom was cut off, which greatly dealt a blow to the determination of the daimyo feudal lords in the southwest islands to resist, leaving only the Maori family of the Han Empire, who insisted on exterminating the nine clans, was still dying!

It was also the dying struggle of the Maori family that caused heavy losses to the Japanese standing army, which had never experienced a tough battle!

However, after the expeditionary fleet cleared the Satsuma Domain, it soon forcibly landed in Shimonoseki and other places in the Changzhou Domain, and attacked the exhausted main forces of the Natsuma Domain!

The samurai army that had been part of the Satsuma domain was the first to collapse, and then the samurai armies of the Hizen Tosa family and other daimyo lords also collapsed and surrendered, and in the end, only the Mori family was left to resist stubbornly, but this resistance was more suicidal than fighting......

The Changzhou Domain was completely destroyed, and the family domain was taken over by the standing army under the control of the Han Empire, and it was declared a direct domain of the Japanese Emperor!

And the Maori family, which has been inherited for hundreds of years, was also slaughtered under the order of Mondora, even if there are a few fish that have escaped the net, they will no longer be a threat, and the Maori family has been dug up!

After the collapse of the two great feudal clans of Satsuma and Nagasu, the remaining daimyo lords in the southwest were silent, and sent messengers to meet with Paprov and Mondora, begging to keep the family name, as long as the family can continue, any conditions can be agreed!

Even if it's the cession of land and the surrender of silver mines!

As for tariffs and whatever, I don't dare to touch it anymore......

Naturally, the Hizen and Tosa clans were no exception, but they had a better attitude and were willing to pay a higher amount of compensation......

As if he was afraid of being used as an example to the chicken......

The civil war has reached this point, except for the brain-dead elements who really want to break the jade for the country, it has been seen that this war, which lasted for four years and killed and injured millions of people, has ended!

Wang Gang and Paprov also did not have the intention of completely overthrowing the feudal system of the entire Japanese state, let alone the idea of centralizing power, and after the unconditional surrender of the southwestern feudal domains, they also put down the butcher's knife, and in addition to the territories of the two Satsuma and Nagasu domains that were destroyed were called directly under the emperor, they also occupied some excellent ports along the coast of Japan as temporary naval bases!

To the embarrassment of these surrendering feudal lords, it would be nice if these seized ports could break even, or else, there would be financial subsidies from neighboring feudal lords......

It's long-lasting!

If you don't have your share if you earn more, and if you lose money, you will make up for the gap, this is the duty of these surrendered feudal lords in the future!

In the spring of the twentieth year of the Han Dynasty, with the signing of the last unequal treaty, Japan officially became a semi-colonial and semi-feudal country, and the Tokugawa family was burdened with the maintenance costs of two Japanese standing divisions, and the other daimyo in Japan, including the emperor's direct domain, were burdened with the maintenance costs of three Japanese standing divisions!

After the victory of the civil war, although the territory of the Tokugawa family expanded slightly, it was burdened with heavy financial pressure, and the tariffs were completely deprived by the Han Empire, which made the Tokugawa family lose the possibility of development!

The Tokugawa family had nothing left but 5,000 private troops and the titular Japanese daimyo co-lords......

The wild samurai and orthodox samurai who were once all over Japan suffered a large number of casualties, and a lot of ownerless land was left unavailable, but these lands were not redistributed to the samurai class, but were distributed to those relatively moderate landlords due to the intervention of the Han Empire!

These landlords were originally just Japanese merchants and rich peasants with a slight status, and the Han Empire, through the emperor's dictation, created a new privileged class in Japan, the big landlords!

These people no longer have to undertake military service, but only need to supply the wealth of the daimyo samurai, which will eventually be divided between the emperor's government and the Tokugawa shogunate, and then a large part of it will be used to maintain the Japanese standing army of more than 60,000 people in five divisions, which is being expanded and reorganized!

Moreover, after the civil war, under the deterrence of the powerful Han Empire, the size of the private army and the number of the samurai class were greatly cut down, and it was almost impossible to canonize the new orthodox samurai class!

The big landlord class was officially set up to replace the lack of the samurai class!

However, although the armed forces of the local daimyo feudal lords were greatly weakened, the foundation of the feudal system was still retained, and the centralized system that the emperor had hoped for was not even mentioned in the name of the Tokugawa shogunate......

The arrival of the Han Empire, in addition to reducing the population of Japan by 30% and causing a large loss of wealth, the backward feudal system and the Tokugawa shogunate were completely preserved!

This kind of behavior of putting the cart before the horse made many Japanese literati indignant, but they were limited by the powerful armed forces of the Han Empire and the relentless suppression of the shogunate, so they could only bury this grievance in their hearts!
